In the 90s it wasn't too uncommon. I mean with bands like Tool mysteriously bursting into the mainstream(one I could never understand myself. I respect what they do, but how exactly a mainstream audience ever grasped them is a mystery to me), and a few of the 'grunge' bands experimented lightly in odd time signatures. Soundgarden's 'Spoonman' is a key example. Speaking of Seattle...

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
